Our little Q is not so little anymore!
She started her day with presents, and she was so excited about her new Mercy Watson book that she insisted on reading it aloud to us while eating her cinnamon rolls. Fortunately, her siblings took pity on her and took over reading so she could actually swallow her breakfast.
And she and Janie had to put on a little fashion show.
That face pretty much sums up the essence of Susie. She has personality enough for a dozen. She can be super sweet and cuddly and still climbs into bed with me every morning with her blankie. She can be standoffish and impatient, which is why she has the top bunk while her sisters share the double bed on the bottom bunk. She can be sloppy if she doesn’t care about something, but she can be extremely methodical and neat if she puts her mind to it. She is fearless and creative. She is extremely stubborn and high-strung. She is all about routines (and really gets upset if we do things out of order) but also craves variety in books and meals. I had to set up an official breakfast rotation just so that her breakfast options could vary enough. She’s sometimes picky (cheese pizza only on family movie nights) but also is our most adventurous eater when she’s the one helping me try out a new dish.
Susie’s reading has just taken off this spring. She can always be found with a book and a flashlight in bed, and she’s the one with the biggest stacks of books at the library. Current favorite series: Nate the Great, Mercy Watson, Billy and Blaze, American Girl. I just love having another little bookworm in our family!
